"4E Air Support Rules question
Last night I used an aircraft with an AT value to attack a tank unit and I consulted the 4E rules to see how this works. According to 11.4, "... these [aircraft] units fire on hexes using their Direct Fire values normally (15.11). In addition, if any vehicle units are in the hex attacked, the owning player rolls a number of dice ...", making an Anti-Tank attack as well. I jumped to 15.0 Special Unit Types to check out Special Aircraft Anti-Tank attacks. Here, in 15.13, the second paragraph ends with the sentence, "An aircraft may execute one type of attack OR the other (Anti-Tank or Direct Fire), not both."

Rule 11.4 permits aircraft to make both DF and AT Fire attacks at the same time while rule 15.13 prohibits such attacks. Can someone please clarify this puzzle for me?
Thanks."


Now I'm playing a Burning Tigers scenario and I have the same problem.
Does anyone know the answer?
Thanks

Enrique, thanks for bringing this one back up for discussion. I never heard back on my question. Huh

I guess it's time for me to repeat my original question. I won't re-copy it, it's quoted well enough above already. Cool

While I'm waiting, what about infantry in Assault against vehicles? Under PG3, infantry could utilize both assault fire and their personal AT weapons at the same time. Now it appears that we have to choose one or the other. Please help me out, I'm more confused than anything else about this.

Michael
